Buffalo  Health  Department  rep.orts  as  follows:  Thorough  investig¬ 
ation  discloses  the  fact  that  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  such 
conditions  constantly  prevail.  (  as  required  by  So  a  te  code) 

especially  as  to  bacterial  content  of  the  raw  supply0  Hence  upon 
discovery  cf  deviation  dealers  have  been  notified  to  regrade 
accordingly.  There  is  such  a  wide  variation  and  fluctuations  in 
bacterial  content  of  the  milk  supplies  of  the  same  producers  from 
-time  to  time  and  even  in  the  same  milk  that  it  has  been  found 
impossible  to  maintain  any  grade  from  day  to  day  and  our  attempts 
to  regrade  especially  the  pa  steurized  milk  havetiset  with  a  lot  of 
Reposition,  as  the  frequent  changing  of  grades  tq  conform  to  the 
^■a&ter iological  findings  are  demoralising  to  thefe.  milk  dealers; 

for  although  his  milk  supply  may  be  just  as  wholesome  arid  safe  the 
increase  of  a  few  thousands  of  bacteria  per  cubic  centimeter  lowers 
tie  grade  which  is  seriously  objected  to  by  customers,  who  becoming 
alarmed  purchase  from  another  dealer  only  to  find  in  c.  short  time 
that  he  is  subjected  to  like  changes,  so  that  the  housewife  never 
knows  or she  she  is  Actually  obtaining,  nor? is  it  possible  for 

anyone  to  know  that  milk  supplies  of  any  givenm  dealer  are  in  strict 
technical  conformity  to  legal  grading  requirements  from  da#"  to  day.
